Initial Consultation Fees
Homeowner & Property Buyer

We keep our consultation fees simple and upfront. - ​


We offer a Free 30-minute phone call with an architect to discuss your property, aspirations, and any early questions you might have. It’s a chance to get high-level advice and understand what kind of support might suit you best. We may then recommend an in person site visit. 

 

Most of our in person visits are £150 +VAT, with any additional costs discussed upfront. If you continue with us, this fee is typically deducted from your Stage 1 services.
